Important

Asbestos Awareness training is required for workers who could be exposed to Asbestos & is likely to form the first part of training for working where this may be present, but on its own does not meet the legal requirements for this under The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The completion of this course does NOT qualify you to work with any forms of Asbestos or Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs).
